Whiplash — Classical Chinese Medicine Support for Post-Injury Recovery
Whiplash associated disorder is the constellation of symptoms following acceleration-deceleration neck injury, most commonly from motor vehicle accidents. Most patients recover substantially within 3 months; a subset develop chronic whiplash-associated disorder with persistent pain, cognitive symptoms, autonomic features, and sleep disturbance. At Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton, Dr. Yang supports whiplash recovery alongside physiotherapy and medical management.
